Nigel Farage launched a “people versus establishment” by-election in Clacton – but which side is he REALLY on? The Reform leader claims to speak for ordinary people but the privately-educated former banker has pocketed over £2 million in outside earnings since becoming an MP, accepted a £5m gift from a crypto mega-donor and has taken more cash from “Posh” George Cottrell – a convicted fraudster. If that's not the establishment, what is? Political scientist and lecturer at the University of Oxford Dr Vladimir Bortun joins Zoë Grünewald to decipher which side Farage is on. • Back us on PatreonWritten and presented by Zoë Grünewald.

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is a mainstay of the US political calendar, a barometer of the Republican party mood, and has become, in recent years, a pro-Trump event, with a big budget and crowds in the thousands. Its first outing to the United Kingdom last week brought less of the bombast, but much the same flavour of politics, as figures from across the hard right assembled for debates on topics including migration, race, British identity and cryptocurrency, under the slogan ‘Save Britain. Save The West'. One of our producers, Hannah Moore, attended the conference to find a conservative movement reckoning with its identity, and divided on whether importing MAGA-style politics can unite the right.

Mark dives into the Canadian wildfires and the smoke affecting much of the East Coast. He discusses President Trump's frustration with how Canada has handled the wildfires and his suggestion that tariffs could be used in response. Mark also talks about Zohran Mamdani's latest comments about going after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and what they could mean. The economic impact of the 2026 FIFA World Cup was largely positive, and he comments on the difference in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's accent when speaking in Southern states compared to New York. Mark interviews New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Michael says Mamdani's comments about arresting Netanyahu could be a political stunt to energize his supporters. They also discuss Vice President JD Vance facing criticism over comments he made about Israel during his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast. The guys speak about the future of the Democratic Party and whether Sen. John Fetterman could help change its direction after calling Mamdani a "clown" over his push to arrest Netanyahu if he came to New York City.

Michel Barnier is best known in Ireland for his central role in the EU's negotiations with the UK over Brexit almost ten years ago. But Barnier has also played a central role in French politics for decades, including a brief stint as prime minister. Today he is a member of the French parliament. Last week he was in Dublin for a series of political meetings with Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Minister for Foreign Affairs Helen McEntee and other senior figures, and on Wednesday Hugh interviewed him at Europe House, the European Commission's Dublin base, in front of an audience. Their conversation ranged from Barnier's first political awakening as a teenager in the 1960s through to his verdict on Brexit 10 years after the referendum, figures like Nigel Farage who led the UK out of the EU, the rise of France's far right and the prospects for the French presidential election which takes place in April of next year.

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an t-ochtú lá déag de mhí Iúil. Is mise Eoin Ó Seachnasaigh.I ndiaidh cúpla seachtain dhrámatúil i bpolaitíocht na Breataine, tá an Feisire Parlaiminte nuathofa do Makerfield, Andy Burnham,ar tí seilbh a ghlacadh ar Uimhir 10 Sráid Downing. Cé go bhfuair Burnham, a bheidh ina sheachtú Príomh-Aire ar an mBreatain le deich mbliana anuas, ainmniúcháin ó 322 de na 403 Feisire de chuid Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre, tá dúshláin go leor roimhe anois,agus gan ach trí bliana fágtha den téarma rialtais. Beidh na fadhbanna tromchúiseacha ba chúis le titim a réamhtheachtaí, Sir Keir Starmer, faoi chúram iar-Mhéara Mhanchain go luath, lena n-áirítear míshástacht an phobail leis an rialtas, na géarchéimeanna leanúnacha sa Mheánoirthear agus an brú atá ag teacht ó ghrúpaí éagsúla chun caiteachas cosanta a mhéadú gan cáin ioncaim a ardú. Ní hé Burnham an t-aon pholaiteoir mór le rá sa Bhreatain atá i gcruachás faoi láthair, áfach. Tá ceisteanna crua le freagairt ag a phríomh-iomaitheoir, Nigel Farage, ceannaire an pháirtí Reform UK, tar éis teacht chun solais gur ghlac Farage le cúig mhilliún punt ó bhilliúnaí criptea-airgeadra. I measc ábhair imní gur sciúradh airgid a bhí ar siúl, tá an síntiús á fhiosrú anois ag an National Crime Agency, agus idir an dá linn, tá Farage tar éis éirí as a phost mar Fheisire Parlaiminte do Clacton, agus é ag súil go léireodh fothoghchán úr tacaíocht an phobail dó féin agus don mhaíomh gur íospartach den chóras oifigiúil é. Mar fhreagra, tá sé fógartha ag Páirtí an LuchtOibre, na Coimeádaigh, na Glasaigh agus na Daonlathaithe Liobrálacha nach mbeidh siad ag seasamh san fhothoghchán, agus is cosúil gurb é cuairteoir ón spás amuigh, darb ainm Count Binface, a bheidh ina phríomh-iomaitheoir do Farage.Dea-scéala do lucht leanúna an cheoil Éireannaigh a nascann an traidisiún leis an turgnamh, tá Trá Pháidín ar ais le halbam nua, go gairid i ndiaidh An A24 ón mbliain seo caite. Tarraingíonn an t-albam nua, Cloch ‘s Claí, inspioráid ón úrscéal aoiriúil cáiliúil le Myles na gCopaleen, An Béal Bocht, agus pléann sé an gaol idir an Ghaeltacht agus an chuid eile d'Éirinn chomhaimseartha, agus béim ar leith á cur ar chúrsaí tithíochta, ar fhadhbannaeacnamaíocha agus ar cheisteanna féiniúlachta. Is é seo an chéad eisiúint ag an ngrúpa ar an lipéad World of Echo, atá lonnaithe i Londain, agus a dhíolann ceirníní ó cheoltóirí ceannródaíocha ar fud an domhain, agus mar thoradh air sin,tabharfaidh sé deis do lucht éisteachta idirnáisiúnta aithne a chur ar an dream as Conamara. Tar éis 102 cluiche agus breis agus mí a bhí lán de scileanna iontacha, botúin thubaisteacha, taispeántais laochúla, moilleanna de bharr VAR agus conspóid pholaitiúil, tá Corn an Domhain ag druidim chun deiridh. Cé gurb iad an Spáinn rogha na coitiantachta, tar éis dóibh an Fhrainc a shárú in Dallas oíche Dé Máirt, le cúil ó Mikel Oyarzabal agus Pedro Porro, beidh neart le déanamh acu chun an lámh in uachtar a fháil ar an Airgintín, atá ag filleadh ar an gcluiche ceannais mar seaimpíní gan chloí tar éis bua cáiliúil i gcoinne Shasana ag Staid Atlanta oíche Dé Céadaoin. Níos cóngaraí don bhaile, ar lá spóirt lán le haicsean, fillfidh Gaillimh ar Chluiche Ceannais Iomána na hÉireann den chéad uair ó 2018, agus iad ag tabhairt aghaidh ar fhoireann Luimnigh atá sa tóir ar a séú theideal in ocht mbliana. Beidh Gaillimh ag súil go mbeidh an tosaí Rory Burke i mbarr a réime arís tar éis an gortú a d'fhulaing sé i gcluiche ceannais Laighean, agus tá faoiseamh ar fhir na Mumhan go bhfuil a gcaptaen, Cian Lynch, réidh le himirt tar éis dó a bheith as láthair ón mbua ar Chontae an Chláir. *GLUAISréamhtheachtaí - predecessorspás amuigh - outer spaceturgnamh - experimentaoiriúil - satiricalrogha na coitiantachta - the favourite to win i mbarr a réime - at the top of his game
BURNHAM SPEECH: PASS ME THE SICK BUCKET! #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #AndyBurnham #LabourParty #GeneralElection #UKPolitics #NigelFarage Is Andy Burnham the only rat attempting to jump back on a sinking ship? The stench of hypocrisy at the TUC today was overwhelming. Burnham's back, and frankly, my vacuum cleaner has more charisma. At least the vacuum actually picks up the dirt instead of just talking about it! The speech was all sizzle and no sausage. No detail, and—no surprise—he refused to take questions from the press again. Cowardice. He's got no mandate to lead this country. If he's so sure of these "big ideas," he should test them in a General Election now. Instead, he's standing there thanking Blunket, Beckett, and bloody Neil Kinnock. If those are your mentors, God help us all! I'm sure "Burnham the Showman" struck absolute fear into the heart of Nigel Farage... NOT! I give him until Christmas before he's replaced by a lettuce. Labour are finished. Give us a General Election NOW!

Recorded for the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! podcast at a MEETS event in January 2026, this conversation with Liberal Democrat politician Carl Cashman looked ahead to what might happen during a turbulent year in British and international politics. Several months later, it turns out they got a fair few things right. Carl joins Graeme Smith for a candid conversation about whether queer voters should give the Liberal Democrats another chance — and whether the party could once again find itself holding the balance of power. He faces questions about the coalition years, broken promises over tuition fees and why so many voters still feel burned by the Lib Dems' time in government. Carl also sets out the red lines he would want from any future coalition, including protections for LGBTQ+ and trans people and opposition to further welfare cuts. There is plenty of political gossip too. Carl argues that the Labour government is not genuinely progressive, questions whether Andy Burnham is becoming an opportunist and considers whether Burnham could eventually replace Keir Starmer. The conversation also takes in the rise of the Greens, wealth taxes, immigration, Nigel Farage, Donald Trump, Brexit and what defending LGBTQ+ rights should actually look like in British foreign policy. And is it really true that 80% of Liberal Democrat members are LGBTQ+? Subscribe to Outcast World for more queer politics, sex and culture.
Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House and the Abbey Centre, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION After Labour's election last year, the new defence secretary, John Healey, wrote a memo to Cabinet colleagues in relation to the scandalous Afghan data leak and the subsequent cover-up of relocations. Healey stressed the need to ‘maintain control of the narrative', particularly in the wake of that summer's riots. The riots themselves were arguably fuelled by suppression of information about the Southport murderer, in an attempt to contain public reactions. The desire to control the narrative by curtailing public information has implications for the media's idealised role of telling ‘truth to power'. Beyond super-injunctions, governments seem preoccupied with muting the widespread availability of counter-narratives on social media. Countries across Europe are introducing measures such as the UK's Online Safety Act or the EU's Digital Services Act, which are partly designed to deal with threats to the establishment narrative via suppressing what has been dubbed ‘misinformation'. This mirrors governments' pressure on online and offline media during the Lockdown period to suppress any challenges to official, ‘consensus' health advice. However, the media stands accused of having taken it upon itself to have become more partisan in its reporting of our rapidly changing political landscape – championing a single, biased point of view, with little insight or empathy into what is driving new, popular concerns. Two recent events in America – the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the brutal stabbing of a young Ukrainian woman, Iryna Zarutska on the subway – have catalysed this sense that the mainstream media is more concerned with shaping narratives rather than reporting on them. In the case of Kirk, reaction from the mainstream media seemed to focus less on the appalling nature of the political violence or why he was so popular with millions of young people, than in communicating that Kirk was a ‘MAGA troll'. With Zarutska, whose murder by a black repeat felon was captured on CCTV, the media ignored the story for 18 days, despite its dominance on social media. Eventually, the New York Times reported only how the case had ‘ignited a firestorm on the right', a culture-war framing echoed widely in the mainstream. In the UK, media narrative-shaping is a familiar accusation on everything from the coverage of the unexpectedly large ‘Unite the Kingdom' march to the Southport riots. Populist anger has for some time focused on the supposed bias, arrogance and aloof nature of what is dismissed as the ‘MSM'. There is fury at the way protests and movements are often described as ‘far', ‘hard', ‘extreme' or ‘ultra' right – with media outlets almost running out of adjectives to communicate the idea that these movements are thinly disguised racists. No wonder journalists have been shunned or abused when they turn up to report on events. Trust is declining. All this touches on an older debate: does the media shape or reflect reality? Anti-populist commentators regularly accuse media outlets of amplifying populist talking points, contributing to moral panics about the small boats or ‘whipping up' hate about asylum hotels. Nigel Farage's frequent appearances on BBC Question Time are seen as a key explanation for Reform's credibility, indeed for the size of the 2016 Brexit vote. Has the role of the media changed, or have different outlets always be partisan? What drives governments to control the narrative for public consumption? Is mainstream media ill-equipped to deal with the pace of political change or has it abandoned even the ideal of impartiality? Can anyone, new or old media, credibly claim to merely report events rather than try to shape them?

"Don't cry for us KEIR STARMER: TRUTH IS WE NEVER LOVED YOU!" #KeirStarmer #JonGaunt #AnnWiddecombe # ReformUK #NigelFarage #BrokenBritain #KillList #UKPolitics With apologies to Elaine Paige and Andrew Lloyd Webber, but as England faces our old enemy Argentina in the World Cup today, it seems the perfect time to reflect on the fall of Keir Starmer. The truth is, the British people never truly warmed to this man. Between the "Dalek" delivery and the charisma of a paper bag, he has remained fundamentally out of touch. It was sickening to witness him today, still in total denial, actually claiming he has left the UK in a better place than he found it! While the Commons engaged in a sick pantomime of back-slapping and "in-jokes," they ignored the dreadful reality of the country. In a week where Ann Widdecombe has been assassinated, our nation has never been more divided. Now, chilling details are emerging from a Zia Yusuf emergency press conference about a "kill list" targeting other Reform politicians. How have we reached a state where there is such visceral hate toward politicians on the right? Starmer, his party, and their supporters in the mainstream press have spent years fuelling this fire. Today should not have been a celebratory swan song. Starmer should have proposed that the Commons sit for another week to address the consequences of Ann's murder and demand answers on how the "broken Britain" he leaves behind will actually be fixed. With Nigel Farage now facing ten death threats a day, democracy itself is under attack. It's time for the truth. Join in and give me your views. #KeirStarmer #JonGaunt #AnnWiddecombe #ZiaYusuf #ReformUK #NigelFarage #BrokenBritain #KillList #UKPolitics #PoliticalViolence #DemocracyUnderAttack #MainstreamMediaHate #EnglandVsArgentina #WorldCup #DalekStarmer Keir Starmer, Jon Gaunt, Ann Widdecombe, Zia Yusuf, Reform UK, Nigel Farage, Broken Britain, Kill List, UK Politics, Political Violence, Democracy Under Attack, Mainstream Media Hate, England vs Argentina, World Cup, Dalek Starmer This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Nigel Farage is under fire over his £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire – but does British politics have a wider money problem? MPs earn a salary of just shy of £100,000 but for many that's just a sliver of the total pay packet. Side hustles, political gifts and personal donations can add millions more a year. So how does it all work – and where's the line? Dr. Sam Power of the University of Bristol, one of the country's leading experts on party political funding and corruption, joins Seth Thévoz to decipher who really pays your MP. • Back us on Patreon – www.patreon.com/bunkercastWritten and presented by Seth Thévoz.

In this episode of The Econoclasts, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Munchau dissect the establishment's self-defeating 'lawfare' strategy against rising right-wing populists like Marine Le Pen, and Nigel Farage, while debunking the myth that capitalism is synonymous with free markets by contrasting Western state-protected monopolies like SpaceX with China's highly competitive, state-guided economic model.

Well folks, it's a week of unprecedented political shifts and fast-moving news. This week, Lesley and Fraser digest a historic transition as Keir Starmer departs and Andy Burnham takes over as the new Prime Minister. We unpack the massive policy choices landing immediately on the new PM's desk—from splitting the Treasury to making defining calls on North Sea energy.Meanwhile, Reform UK launches a bizarre, hostile bid to criminalize the Scots Gaelic language in election materials, Nigel Farage braces for a resumed standards committee investigation in Clacton, and fresh historic accounts stir up the debate on independent campaign funds. Finally, we reflect on the tragic murder of Anne Widdecombe, the toxic rush of social media narratives, and why the simple, civil connections of community—and a bit of no-nonsense Scottish gardening—keep us grounded.1.

The murder of firebrand politician Ann Widdecombe has sent shockwaves through the British establishment, prompting fresh debate around the safety of public figures. An unapologetic straight-talking stateswoman, Widdecombe served as an MP for 23 years, and was famed for controversial outspoken views on abortion, gay rights and women's issues. Despite her divisive nature, Widdecombe managed to win fans away from the political arena thanks to a memorable run on Strictly Come Dancing and other unlikely forays into reality TV. Now, as the investigation into her murder evolves into a terrorism probe, serious questions are being asked of the authorities in Britain, not least by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who called attention to the need for more money to be spent on security for public figures just days before Widdecombe's death. On Tuesday evening, counter-terrorism police in the UK stated that the murder of Ann Widdecombe is officially recognised as a “targeted attack” while noting that it has “not been declared as a terrorist incident”. On this episode of The Indo Daily, host Fionnán Sheahan is joined by TRT World presenter Enda Brady to discuss the latest on the investigation, and to look at the sometimes contradictory life of Ann Widdecombe and an increasingly threatening climate for politicians.

Democratic socialists gain momentum in deep-blue primaries, as the left begins a fight over possible new candidates to take the place of Graham Platner. Nigel Farage resigns from Parliament and immediately launches a campaign to win back the same seat as he fights allegations involving millions of dollars in undisclosed financial support. Prosecutors reveal that Lance Twiggs' DNA was found along with Tyler Robinson's on a screwdriver and the towel wrapped around the suspected weapon used to murder Charlie Kirk.

Tommy is joined by guest host Mehdi Hasan to walk through a packed week of World Cup controversy, a NATO summit, and Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral in Iran.First, they discuss the international reaction to President Trump's interference in the World Cup to get the US team's red card suspended and all the ways that corruption is endemic to FIFA. Then Trump heads to Ankara for the NATO summit, and the guys dig into what is actually at stake—from Trump's demand that allies spend 5% of GDP on defense to reports to a Wall Street Journal deep dive on European leaders holding a “therapy session” about their strained relationship with America. Then there's Trump's bromance with Turkish President and NATO Summit host Tayyip Erdogan and the push to sell F-35s to Turkey despite a Congressional ban. In Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei's week-long funeral ceremonies are drawing tens of thousands of mourners to the streets of Tehran; in the UK, Nigel Farage resigns from Parliament to trigger a by-election he plans to immediately run in again, and in France, a Paris appeals court has cleared the far right leader Marine Le Pen's run for president.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
